In 1950, the infant mortality rate of Pakistan was estimated to be 280 deaths per thousand live births, meaning that approximately 28% of all babies born in that year would not survive past their first birthday. Infant mortality would decline steadily in Pakistan throughout the 20th century, with the largest decreases occurring in the 1950s and 1960s following the introduction of large scale health programs, as well as WHO-led vaccination campaigns which resulted in the eradication of malaria and smallpox in the 1950s and 1960s respectively. As health services have continued to expand and improve in Pakistan, infant mortality has continued its steady decline into the 21st century, although infant mortality remains relatively high at approximately sixty deaths per thousand live births in 2020.

Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.
